Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the type of cancer that most commonly affects women worldwide. It has an impact on the patient's physical, mental, social, and functional health. Because of their increased symptom burden, patients with breast cancer may have a worse quality of life.
Materials and Methods: They employed a descriptive observational study design. 50 patients in all were selected using the proportionate sampling technique, and the sample was determined by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis was used to examine the data. A quality-of-life questionnaire (FACT-B) was sent, and demographic data were consulted in order to gather data.
Results: According to the quality-of-life variable, 15 patients (30.0%) had extremely poor physical health. With 25 patients (50.0%) in this group, the majority of the social well-being relationships were positive. Twenty-eight patients (56.0%) were found to be in the bad group for functional well-being. A total of 35 patients (70.0%) had satisfactory emotional well-being. Up to 30 patients (60.0%) fell into the bad group for extra issues.
Conclusions: The physical well-being and quality of life of patients can be adversely affected by chronic diseases. Patients' burden of symptoms, including anxiety, despair, and exhaustion, is linked to a low life quality.
